Actually, there are four positions on a retainer: direct release, low pressure, high pressure, and slow direct release. The slow direct release allows a full release, but only after a period of time has elapsed; this is intended to eliminate a stop to turn the retainers down after reaching the bottom of the grade. This was covered in the Air Brake story in April TRAINS . . .
